The media bureau of Iraq's Joint Operations Command (JOC) said in a statement on Wednesday that army, federal police, special forces, Kurdish Peshmerga forcea and Hashd al-Sha’abi fighters had launched “a vast operation to clear out the region east of the Diyala-Kirkuk” highway.

Once again, the forces that deal with the fighting of the terrorist organizations are targeted with a scenario that carries many suspicions and misgivings. Aircraft, limited to the US and Israel, have carried out an attack on the Iraqi-Syrian border.

At the same time, we condemn the cowardly act of cowardice. We stress the need for the Iraqi government to take the necessary measures to detect those who committed this crime as soon as possible, and to activate its coordination with the Syrian government and the forces stationed on the border with Iraq. Is in the service of Iraqi national security because, as proved by many experiences that the Iraqi border can not be secured unless the second side of the border inside Syria is secured.

“The targeting of a site where there are Iraqis who are legally present with the knowledge of the Syrian government to deal with the fugitives who are on the border with Iraq, confirms without doubt the support of the party behind the attack of the terrorist groups, especially the world knows that this region was and is still the port from which terrorists infiltrate into Iraq and pose a danger And instead of targeting terrorist groups to limit their entry into Iraq, the attack is deliberately targeted at those who have dealt with terrorism in Iraq and the region.

It is no secret that this is not the first attack, but there have been several attacks inside Iraq and inside Syria all in one direction, which is to weaken the capabilities of the forces that address the Takfiri organizations, especially on both sides of the border in order to enable terrorist organizations to move between Iraq and Syria.

At the same time, we are surprised by the statements that try to justify this attack, especially those that claim the presence of the targeted forces inside the Syrian territories, as if such attacks were not committed against those who managed to defeat the American plan aimed at dividing Iraq and the region.

We believe that it is clear that international and regional efforts to weaken any military and security presence on both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border to prolong the security threat to the two countries, and this stresses the need to stand firmly and firmly against these projects until the complete elimination.

PMF spokesman Ahmed al-Assadi said Friday that 20.000 fighters will take part in the imminent battle, saying that the recapture of the enclave “will not take more than weeks”.

This their magic of forcing out any enemy in only few weeks, that’s why the Iraqi people got bothered when some officials informed the no participation of the PMF in the Tal Afar battle.

Tal Afar is 65 kilometers west of Mosul, and is home to a mixed Turkmen and Arab population. Iraqi forces recaptured Mosul, Islamic State’s former capital, early July after more than eight months of U.S.-backed offensives.

Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi and his defense officials have marked Tal Afar as their next target of anti-Islamic State action. Iraqi defense officials said recently that warplanes were carrying out raids on the enclave in preparation for the ground invasion which is yet to be scheduled.

All the ground and aerial prearrangement and preparations on the liberation of the last part of the Iraqi land.

Conflicting statements have been frequent regarding the participation of the Shia-led, government-recognized mobilization forces in the liberation of Tal Afar, a town of a mixed Shia Arab and Sunni Turkmen population. Sunni Turkey has pressed Baghdad to exclude the #PMFSaveIraq from the anticipated campaign fearing that the militias would commit genocides against residents from opposing sects.

The increasing engagement of PMFs in the battles against IS militants had also drawn opposition from Saudi officials those who have been continuously killing the Yemenis .

While a majority of the Turkish dwellers of Tal Afar are not only Shia but also have spent their 3 last years of being refugees in the homes and houses of them in the center of the country.

PMF is not made up of only Shia people but all the Iraqi religions and cities are included. Mostly need to be mentioned is the conclusion of Tal Afar people in the PMF and it’s not a politics thing.

The ISIS forces were simulating the surrender to be able to close the Iraqi forces. They meant to detonate themselves and kill a number of their Iraqi rivals. Figuring out the plot, Iraqis shot them leading to multiple explosions. The video shows at least three major explosions leading to the tear-up of the terrorists. The feedback was in time and Iraqis survived the plot.

The ISIS forces are making their final breaths in Iraq and Syria and have resorted to suicide attacking to kill more army forces. After losing the battle in Mosul, Raqqa in Syria is considered the last major city they still have under control. Syrian army has started an all-out attack against ISIS forces in Raqqa during the previous days. ISIS also has increased its terrorist attacks across the world to cover its diminishing power in Syria and Iraq.

Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the leader of the terrorists, is reported to have been killed during the air raids on Raqqa. The accuracy of the news means a potential end to years of terrorism and horror in Syria, Iraq, and other parts of the world.

The security forces found the mass grave in Al Shifa neighborhood on the west coast of Mosul. The cemetery included the remains of 60 civilians, including elderly people and 23 former employees women and lawyers, according to the cards they had found with them .

A local source of Nineveh province said that “Daesh” executed civilians with bullets in the head area before a period of time, as was evident when the remains of the victims were transferred to the alternative forensic medicine in Wadi Hajar area to be identified and handed over to their families .

Despite the fact that? ISIS terrorist group is fast losing territories to the Syrian and Iraqi forces and their allies as the recapture operation?s are unfolding further, it still works in civilian aspects to recruit members across the world who will enable it carry out terror attacks in other places including America and Europe using its local operatives.

To hold the areas under its occupation, the terrorist group heavily depends on the supply of foreign fighters who travel to Syria and Iraq to fight the national forces there.

A research found that ISIS recruited foreign fighters from over 80 global countries.

There is a transfer process underway by ISIS. While it attracts its fans from around the world to its areas of influence in Syria and Iraq, it spreads its ideology and agenda across the world from its?regional strongholds. Furthermore, ISIS has proven that it can radiate out fast across the world from its main areas using different tactics, and even conduct terror assaults. The tactics include deploying its fans around the world for terror operations, provoking the local Salafi communities, and joining forces with a wide range of existing terrorist?organizations.

The core of ISIS’s global operations is passing ideological messages to the world. The organization’s ideology is largely shattered and shallow and the fans in many cases are not aware of the real beliefs of it, however, the symbols and instruments at the disposal of this terrorist entity for promotion of radicalism remain powerful majorly in the extremism-prone communities.

Unlike many other terror organizations, ISIS does not carry a single message, rather it holds multiple messages. Its?propaganda videos, for instance, underscore its successes in capturing areas in the victim countries, build a heroic image of its ?militants’ extraordinarily heinous crimes, and emphasize the need to defend rights of Salafi Muslims against what it labels the “oppressors.”

The promotions give the criminals, alienated Muslims, and even aberrant idealists a reason to feel legitimate in seeking joining the terrorist group and even carrying out terror attacks wherever needed. This transmission of ideology is predominantly accomplished through use of social media propaganda.

So far, ISIS has proven it has a flair for use of social media, and it has now well established a large-scale propaganda machine online to recruit members worldwide. Some of the top propaganda campaigns are guided psychological warfare led by its leaders whereas ordinary messages are transmitted by low-ranking fans who connect each other through social sites.

A litany of hate preachers and theorists, majorly living out of ISIS areas of control, are busy spreading divisive and violent messages in the name of Islam. To materialize its agenda, it needs to facilitate communication and human relations. The first step of alluring the individuals into joining the terrorist group is use of social media and propaganda, as at the same time the guidelines put premium on personal touch for recruitment.

ISIS’s emphasis on Syria and Iraq being the central territories of the self-proclaimed Islamic caliphate has been the outstanding feature of the recruitment campaign. Now recapture of the held territories in these two countries can deal a working blow to the ISIS symbols.

A wide range of steps should be taken to stand against ISIS propaganda. Many social sites associated with the group should be blocked, and its preachers and members should be put on notice. Sectarianism, which perfectly feeds ISIS agenda, should be avoided. Furthermore, the majorly Muslim refugees in Europe should be taken care of, otherwise alienation of them in the Western countries will prompt violent extremism there.

Former Tajik Special Forces colonel Gulmurod Khalimov defected last year to ISIS, and has just been promoted to the position of battlefield commander in Iraq.

Khalimov is set to take the position vacated by Abu Omar al-Shishani, also known as Omar the Chechen, who was killed in the Iraqi city of Shirqat, south of Mosul. in early July and whom the Pentagon described as Islamic State’s “minister of war.” What makes the ascent of Khalimov particularly embarrassing for the US is that The former paramilitary unit commander of the Tajikistan armed forces received his battlefield training from American advisors and even came to the United States on several occasions to receive special counterterrorism training through the US State Department’s Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program.

Then last year, Khalimov defected to ISIS where the Daesh forces in Iraq welcomed the new addition to their ranks with open arms especially since he was acquainted with US military and intelligence tactics. Subsequently, the American trained former Special Forces colonel Gulmurod Khalimov received a promotion within the terrorist organization, and has become the group’s Iraqi battlefield commander just weeks after

ISIS refused to officially announce that Khalimov had been promoted to the top ranks of the terrorist organization out of concern that he would become a high-priority target of US led strikes in Iraq, but Iraq’s Al Sumaria news agency exposed the promotion through a source in Nineveh province. The placement of Khalimov to lead the terror organization’s Iraqi forces is a bit unusual for the Islamic State, who normally maintain only “second and third ranking commanders who lead militants in [Nineveh] province,” according to the Al Sumaria source. These Daesh militants tend to keep a low-profile to prevent being “detected and destroyed” by US Forces who remain in a support function in Iraq explained the source.

Khalimov’s high profile defection has understandably been a concern for US officials for some time, with the US State Department labeling him a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224 on September 29, 2015 designed to prevent the transfer of currency to individuals known to hold leadership roles in terror organizations. The United Nations Security Council Resolutions and al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee further added Khalimov, who is also a fugitive wanted by the Government of Tajikstan, to its sanctions list in February 2016.

In any case, as has so often been the case in the recent past, a special ops military expert by the US, is now engaged in deadly combat wih his former teacher; further adding to the paradox, his weapons and supplies have also been provided by the US: an odd outcome which, as many have pointed out, benefits just one group: the shareholders of the US military-industrial complex, which always wins no matter who, or how many lives are lost.

Yesterday Iraqi forces attacked and killed an ISIS commander Abwanas Ash’sheeshani. According to Iraqi forces they have reached near An’noori mosque.

Shakir al Jawadi said that security forces have cut off all the ways to old Mosul for the ISIS people. He said that 30% area of west Mosul is still under ISIS control, but soon it will be wiped out from the region. On the other hand, according to the reports, ISIS militants while shooting at a mosque in old Mosul have caused severe damage to its minarets.

So far, Iraq Volunteer Force has advanced to several kilometers in Mosul and has freed dozens of Mosul neighborhoods from ISIS possession.

A suicide bomber blew himself up in a wedding ceremony in the Iraqi city of Tikrit that left many people to mourn for at least 23 people who had come to celebrate the starting of a new life for the couple. The reports have informed that the death toll might rise due to the high degree burns caused by the explosion.

The Iraqi Forces are fighting with the ISIL since 2014 while many innocent people have lost their lives to the ISIL barbarism. The Iraqi army and the popular forces have been quite successful in clearing the cities from the ISIL threat but the war still continues.

Iraqi medias reported that Iraqi army forces succeeded to liberate a village wherein the leader of the terrorist group Islamic State had appeared for the first time. They published pictures showing soldiers close to a pulpit where Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had appeared in public for the first time. The Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul was the first place wherein the leader of ISIS had appeared in public in 2015.

Abdullah Halaleh, the reporter of Sky News Arabic: Few months after recapturing freedom of the city of Fallujah from the (Takfiri – Zionist) Group ISIS, the people of the city are still living in fear. Fallujah still feels the danger of suicide attacks with car bombs. In addition to the widespread presence of Iraqi security forces in the streets of Fallujah, new security measures have been implemented. The city of Fallujah has been divided into security zones. All entries and exits are specified especially for its residents. A middle-aged man from Fallujah said: We have passed difficult conditions. Security forces’ actions in Fallujah are very good, but we want a reduce in checkpoints of the city. Instead, intelligence activities should be increased and the suspect individuals should be monitored more. Another man from Fallujah said: Iraqi army and police forces cooperate well with people. But for some neighborhoods such as Al-Risala, Al-Jubayl and Al-Shuhada there is only one entrance and the students have problems for commuting. Fallujah’s police chief said that establishment of the checkpoints in some areas and roads is temporary and after securing Fallujah all the obstacles will be removed.

Hashd Al-Shaabi said in a statement that it kicks off the fourth phase of the military operations in areas on the Western side of Mosul on Tuesday morning.

According to al-Hashd news website, there is all kind of logistics and military preparedness and the troops are waiting for orders to attack.

The fourth phase of the operations in west of Mosul has started from the western side of “Tal Afar” to the Syrian border. The purpose of the operations is to cut off the terrorists’ remaining supply routes from Tal Afar to Syria.

Hashd al-Shaabi forces were able to finish the third phase by liberalization of “Tal Afar” airport on 14 November (Wednesday last). The name of the airport was changed to “martyr Jassim Shabar” after the liberalization.

Cutting the supply road of ISIS to Tal Afar put the Islamic state terrorists in difficult situation in western side of Mosul.

Hashd al-Shaabi commanders announced that the purpose of the operation is to separate Tal Afar from Syria. These actions made ISIS terrorist more nervous and savage.

According to field sources, Tal Afar Airport operations encompass from southern to northern part of the city and Sinjar international road. We also talk to Kurdish forces and they said they are ready to cooperate with Hashd al-Shaabi.

Field sources announced, our next step which is to start the operation by entering the city depends on the full cleaning of the eastern part of Mosul until some of the Iraqi forces be present in the liberation of Tal Afar directly.
